This talk will explore the radical tradition of rural writing through the work of two Romantic period polemicists, William Cobbett and John Thelwall.
It will focus on their tours, principally Rural Rides (1830) and The Peripatetic (1793), as well as their agricultural experiments, political oratory, and legacies for writing and thinking about the English countryside.
This seminar is part of the Rural Riders and Radicals series in association with the Department of English Literature
